Tim Peters added the comment: Looks to me like this is what the docs are talking about when they say:
""" As mentioned above, if a child process has put items on a queue (and it has not used JoinableQueue.cancel_join_thread), then that process will not terminate until all buffered items have been flushed to the pipe. This means that if you try joining that process you may get a deadlock unless you are sure that all items which have been put on the queue have been consumed. Similarly, if the child process is non-daemonic then the parent process may hang on exit when it tries to join all its non-daemonic children. Note that a queue created using a manager does not have this issue. See Programming guidelines.
